Check this out… amazing 🤩

Amazing Book Fact Of The Day:

The strangest book, at least in physical appearance, goes to Cent Mille Milliards De Poemes, by French poet Raymond Queneau. At only ten pages long it seems innocuous, but each page is cut in strips, each strip containing a sonnet. All use the same rhyming scheme and therefore all can be combined to create 1,014 separate poems.

Check this out. I took this photo yesterday. It’s so sad to see what was our lovely shop being torn apart. I wonder if it is a tax minimisation scheme.

We’re coming down to the wire now folks, only one more week before we close our doors for the last time.
It will be a sad week for our volunteers, especially for Thelma & Kris who started the shop over 19 years ago.
We, the volunteers, have gone from disbelief to sadness & finally, resigned to our fate…. I believe the tears will flow during this last week.
I moved to Ulmarra 3 years ago, this shop has helped me to feel a part of this little town & the community , I feel blessed to have been a part of Ulmarra Retro Op Shop.
Please pop in to see us this week, to say goodbye, have a chat or grab a bargain (everything is half price)
We hope to see you all ❤️

Today we had a lovely thing happen a dear lady came in and after spending some time looking and probably listening to us in the shop, explained that her daughter who lives in Byron Bay was having a birthday and she didn’t want anything.
What she did want was her mum to do a random act of kindness...and ... she donated $50 to the shop to be used as all our income is ... given to look after the aged care residents in Rathgar Lodge. 💖
We wrote a happy Birthday card for mum to give to her daughter thanking her for the donation.
